If he signs here, he will do it knowing there isn't going to be a QB competition, at least not for the starting spot. He was always good for the locker room, as I understood it, so I would be quite comfortable bringing him in and letting him and Quinn compete for the backup spot.
I think the writing is on the wall for Tarvaris that the ship for him to be a starter in the NFL has sailed. Why not walk in to one of the best situations in the league? A place where you are familiar with the players, coaches, and offensive system and perhaps maybe you come in for a few games and prove to the league that you can be the perfect Stop-Gap QB, who knows. I don't think it gets much better for Tarvaris Jackson then backup QB for the Seahawks, plus he can probably cash in on an easy ring.
You know Seattle has officially made it as a destination franchise in the NFL when backup QB's want to "play" for you.

I don't fully know why, but I would absolutely love it if the Hawks brought back TJack to be Russell's backup. It would just feel right. The dude was tough as nails when he was here and proved that he could at least be a .500%-ish QB if Russell ever were to go down. Brady Quinn still hasn't proven that he can do that yet during his time in the NFL. I'd feel a little bit more comfortable knowing Tarvaris was the one holding the clipboard, hopefully all season long.
Zeb is probably flipping out right now though at the thought of the possibilities. Make it happen JS!
I love you.
TJack belongs on the Seahawks, period.
Personally, I'd love it if Tarvaris AND Jerrod Johnson beat out Brady Quinn. Like I said, for some reason I've always hated the guy (it's because he went to Notre Dame, doubly so because he went there during the Charlie Weis era. Another dude I couldn't stand) and I wouldn't really be too devastated if he didn't make the team. I think Johnson offers more upside and Jackson is a more capable, reliable, and tougher option as the #2. Not to mention, he's better too.
And pe, save your love for somebody who deserves it. This guy.
Clearly Pete agrees. They should do it for Zeb's happiness alone.
